Teaching your kids Patience!

Recently, we did another Lego project together with Yahoo and Lego. The kids had great fun, and here is an excerpt from the article:

Everyone wants Patience and we all want it Now!

Growing up, patience has been one of the virtues that all of us struggle with. No one likes to wait, and we all dread it when we need to queue. One of the best ways to teach children, is learning through play. When kids are engaged, they learn faster and enjoy the process at the same time. Simple activities often have the biggest educational benefits, as children are able to explore and expand their minds. Lego is a fantastic activity that is simple, yet genius.

With attractive boxes, and themes that seem to grip every kid’s imagination, Lego is always a HIT with children. When Nathan saw the latest “Lego Artic Base Camp”, he immediately blurted out “So Cool!”  Yes! Kids are always so upfront with their emotions. and you can tell when something has gripped their little hearts.

Upon opening the box, he wanted to fix everything immediately, but “Good Things in life don’t come so easily!” Nathan realized that he needed to spend the “Man Hours” on his Lego project, in order to put the Artic Base, Helicopter and Tracked Vehicles together. In fact, he took a total of about 4 hours over 2 days in order to finish the project. This is the satisfied “Toy Maker”, after the completion of his Lego Project.

My little boy was delighted to finish it, and he was bragging to the whole family when we came home from work. He definitely did not need any coaxing to show up his little trophies. We were definitely happy for him, with so many small and moveable parts,  Lego proved to be great at training the  kids to follow detailed instructions. Trust me when I tell you that there were times when he wanted to give up, but as he persevered, he was able to finish everything!
